Question
Female, 2 years old, my baby was fine during the day, but suddenly started to have a fever at night. I’m worried. Can you tell me what’s happening when a baby gets a rash after a fever?
Answer
It is usually due to exanthema caused by low-grade fever. You can initially adopt conservative treatment, such as cold compresses and cold water wiping to lower the temperature. Generally, after symptomatic treatment, the baby can gradually recover, so there’s no need to worry too much. It is recommended that you pay attention to your child’s cold prevention, prevent catching a cold, drink more water, and dress appropriately. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to go to regular three-level hospitals as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations so that they can be treated according to their symptoms. In addition, patients need to maintain regular daily routines, do a good job of cold prevention and warmth preservation, eat more light and soft foods in daily diet, ventilate frequently, and drink more hot water.
